Vintage Singer 301

I picked this up at a yardsale, recently, as part of a $15.00 package deal:

 It's straight-stitch-only, gear-driven and (according to every website I've checked) "a favorite of quilters".

I love the brass accents...

...and the deco number font.

It seems to work, just fine.  Now, I need to download a manual for it and make note of how to thread it so that I can use it with some thread other than what is already in it!

    Welcome to the club. There's no turning back now.

    That is a very nice machine at a great price. As creative as you are, I bet you end up making some cool stuff.

    You might have already seen it but here's a video on threading and sewing with the 301.

    Or you could ask someone you know that worked with sewing machines for years.

    Cool grab!

Sorry about the word verification. I know you hate it...I hate it, too. But, the Spambots are suddenly coming out of the woodwork, and this is my first line of defense against them.
